I Thought I Had a Bad Diet

I am guilty of eating pretty poorly a lot of the time. I buy food out of vending machines at work, and I don't get enough fruit and veggies. However, no matter how bad you are, there is always somebody worse (unless you are Satan, I suppose). Most of us are familiar with some of the ultra-junky food that can be found at a fair or carnival, but I was taken aback by what I saw at the Western Fair (London Ontario's big one) last weekend. My wife is the one who spotted it and said I should take a picture, so you have her to thank for this:

Mmmmmm! Doesn't that look awesome? Don't you just want a plate RIGHT NOW? Well too bad, this kind of goodness is fair-specific. Just hope and pray that the eaters of this delicacy don't join you on some wild ride soon after enjoying it!

Yer Pal,

R A N T W I C K

PS - Although I am fond of "photoshopping" things, I did not modify that picture in any way other than cropping the sides. Truth, as is often the case, is grosser than fiction.

The London Free Press mentioned it in an article alongside the more traditional deep-fried Mars Bars. Still don't think I'd have it. Of course I'll gladly have an elephant ear with cinnamon and sugar any time I go down to the fair.

I was at a party and there was one of those chocolate fountains. The ones that pump liquefied chocolate to the top and it drizzles down and you dip food into the molten flow. There was fruit the pineapple was nice, and there was thick slices of salty bacon. I have to say it was pretty good dipped in chocolate and it was free not ten dollars and I had beer which was good.
